Short overview of the fields where AI and ML is growing fast.


Robotics 
Traditional robotics algorithms like localization, mapping, path planning and vehicle/robot control are being successfully replaced by AI versions.
Reinforcement learning is also a big topic here!

Computer Vision 
Computer vision grew massively in the last years after great improvements in deep learning. This is one of the fields that benefited most from CNNs.
While computer vision problems start getting commoditized now, there are still many interesting challengec.

Natural Language Processing 
NLP is another field where deep learning is particularly well suited and achieved great results in 2020.
The hot topics there now are Transformers, with one notable example being GPT-3.

Biotech 
One other field that machine learning is now entering and is expected to grow a lot in the next years is biotech.
Remember the news around AlphaFold? This is just the beginning.
